Update the BIOS on the motherboard

Put a 5700X3D in there.

Get 32GB of RAM.  Maybe buy another 2x8GB DDR4 of the same RAM kit you already have.

Save for a GPU later 🙂

7500f + 32gb 6000c30

 

id argue that a jump to am5 is a better option considering the resale price of that board cpu and ram should be atleast 90€ which would make this upgrade cost about the same as going for a 5700x3d

 

7500f will crush the 5700x3d in games that dont leverage the cache that much stuff like minecraft or some fps games but most games where the extra cache is leveraged the 7500f should be able to atleast keep up to the 5700x3d, only times itd lose by a decent margin would be stuff like factorio or satisfactory

 

you also get the benifit of not having to replace the board or ram upon cpu upgrade once the 7500f isnt cutting it anymore and that 7500f can still be overclocked even further where the 5700x3d probably wont go much past 4.2ghz even if you manage to clock bclk high enough which might be abit of a hassle

 

also some other stuff like gen4 x16 which is likely to be useful in the next few years and the gen5 m.2 which is useless but hey its just extra overkill
